Watcombe Park, Torquay

This TWO BEDROOM TERRACED BUNGALOW, constructed by local builders of repute Messrs Cavanna Homes, has been subject to a comprehensive program of modernisation upgrading and enhancement in recent years and now provides a well-proportioned home in a peaceful setting, enjoying views over Torquay toward the twin spires of St Marychurch from the rear. The well-presented living space is neutrally decorated, with a good size sitting room, modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a re-fitted shower room. The property is complemented by low-maintenance gardens, providing pleasant areas in which to sit, relax and make the most of the day's sunshine.  Further benefits include a garage and an additional off-road parking space, both conveniently situated to the rear of the property.

The bungalow is ideally placed for access to regular bus services and a selection of local shops and amenities along both Barton Hill Road and Moor Lane. More comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found at the popular St Marychurch and The Willows districts, approximately two miles away. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Brunel Woodland is close by, with Moor Lane continuing towards the wooded hillside and down to Watcombe Cove. From here, a network of scenic South Devon footpaths can be accessed, making the location particularly appealing to walkers, ramblers and dog owners. 

OWNER INSIGHT

"Having lived in Torquay for many years I actually watched these properties being built, always admired them and aspired to live in one of the bungalows, a chance that I have only been able to take advantage of in recent years. With my parents having previously built a number of bungalows I have always had an affiliation for them and hoped that one day that I would have the opportunity of owning one myself. I am so glad that I have been able to fulfill this ambition and have really enjoyed my time living here, finding it to be an extremely tranquil setting. Having carried out a comprehensive program of updating and improvement I have created what I think is a tasteful home that is ideally suited to my needs. Regrettably I have now made the difficult decision to make a move closer to family and also a little nearer to the amenities that I need on an everyday basis, but am sure that any new owners will appreciate the attributes that this lovely bungalow will offer them."
